The Czech Republic jokingly decided to attach Kaliningrad. The media of Russia is outraged

At the end of September, a comic post from an anonymous Polish user appeared on Twitter, who wrote that it was worth joining the Russian Kaliningrad to the Czech Republic. Other users liked the joke so much that they began to publish cards and photos of Kaliningrad with a Czech flag. After that a petition appeared on the introduction of troops into the region, and the propaganda Russian media began to seriously discuss this situation. North Realiy tell what is happening.

How a joke appeared

The post of user Papież Internetu appeared on September 28. It wrote: "It is time to share Kaliningrad so that our Czech brothers finally get access to the sea." To his post, he added a map with the division of the region into two halves - "Czech" and "Polish".

A joke was seen by the deputy of the European Parliament from the Czech Republic Tomash Strekhovsky , he reposted the tweet and added "how not to love the Poles."

How Russian media reacted

After that, some Russian media noticed the situation, but reacted very seriously to it. So, the eadaily edition called the replica of the Strekhovsky "revenge in relation to the Russian Kaliningrad region."

"Purchasing political wit, Strekhovsky said in the peak of referendum in Novorossia, which supports the dubious idea of the Polish Internet user about the referendum in the Kaliningrad region and the division of the Russian region between the Czech Republic and Poland," the publication wrote.

The site "Politexpert" took a comment on this occasion from the military observer Mikhail Tymoshenko. He stated that the Czech Republic and Poland should not hope for the section of the Kaliningrad region.

"Czechs and Poles should not have hopes for Russian territories, including the section of Kaliningrad. Moscow will not give his own to anyone," Tymoshenko said.

How memes and petitions appeared

But the Polish and Czech users of Twitter could no longer be stopped.
They began to distribute cards and photos of Kaliningrad with a Czech flag, and the city itself was renamed to Karlovets - this is what it is called in Chesh.

"Kaliningrad was founded in 1255 in honor of the Czech king Przhemil Otakar II," Rob Cameron reminded the Prague correspondent of BBC on Twitter. He added that "joining the Czech Republic is completely legitimate by Russian standards," making a reference to Russia's annexation of Ukrainian territories.

Later, a website and a twitter account were created for Kralovts, now there are more than 63 thousand followers.

In addition, an online petition was published on the introduction of troops into the Kaliningrad region with the subsequent referendum there on the accession of the region to the Czech Republic.

"As Russia showed us with Crimea and now shows in the east of Ukraine, the invasion of a foreign state, a referendum there and the subsequent annexation of the territory is completely normal. We have a unique opportunity to expand the territory of the Czech Republic and, finally, get an exit to the sea. Therefore, we demand that the Government of the Czech Republic send our troops to Kaliningrad, convenes a referendum, as a result of which 98% will speak out for joining the accession to joining The Czech Republic, and then annexed Kaliningrad and renamed him to Kralovets, the petition says.

The tourist portal of the new region was also created. It is stylized for the official website of the Czech Republic of the Czech Republic for the development of tourism Czechtourism.

Various companies also picked up a joke. Some Internet detectives of real estate or airline tickets began to offer real estate in the "recently annexed territories", and the Czech Railways paved the way to Kralovts.
